Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ

---

As we look to the future of Holy Cross, we are moving forward with a Feasibility Study as we examine the possibility of expanding and renovating our beloved church. Such an effort requires thoughtful planning to ensure success. I am seeking the advice of our parish families and your input is essential. Your opinions, and those of your fellow parishioners, will help us formulate a plan of action as together, we can make well- informed decisions about the future of our parish.

The parish is being assisted by Guidance In Giving, Inc., a professional Catholic development organization, to work with our staff in coordinating all aspects of the Feasibility Study (Guidance In Giving is currently working with the Diocese of Memphis and is conducting this study as a courtesy to our parish, free of charge). Your survey answers will be seen only by Guidance in Giving staff and not by myself or any of the Parish Staff. So we invite you to be forthright with your responses! Based on the thoughts and opinions found, the firm will guide us in formulating a plan of action and will make recommendations regarding our next steps in implementing a successful capital campaign. The questions in the study are intended to assist us in obtaining an accurate view of the feelings, opinions and financial support of our parish families toward a proposed capital campaign. 

Be assured that, at this stage, this is not a formal solicitation. A campaign will not begin until after the results of the Feasibility Study have been presented, and we are confident in the ability to move forward. 

I thank you in advance for your advice and counsel as we make plans for our future. I ask that you keep this study in your prayers and I thank you so much for your support.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Martin Orjianioke
